| Sumario: | United Nations Resolution 1325 is the most important international standard regarding the conflict’s impact on the lives of women and girls. It addresses protection against sexual and gender-based violence, promotes female participation in peace processes and expands the role of women in missions. The implementation process in the Member States is carried out through the formulation of National Action Plans (NAPs), which are responsible for establishing strategic actions, identifying priorities, allocating resources, determining responsibilities and execution deadlines. In the South American region, only five plans were produced, twenty years after the first application, by Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Paraguay. Given this, the article focuses on two main questions: how did the production of NAPs in each of these countries take place? And, what are the main differences between them? Therefore, in a first stage, this study presents the evolution of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and its consequences. In a second step, a textual analysis protocol is applied in order to compare the plans implemented by each of the South America countries. Finally, it appears that the areas of resource allocation and monitoring and evaluation strategies require greater diligence. |
